PRAYER OF A STUDENT-TEACHERDear God,We are truly grateful of the blessing that you have showered upon us. Thank you for the gift of life, for the loving students, for the loving and caring family, for the understanding and compassionate teachers, for the supportive principal and for this wonderful day that we are about to share together with your guidance and protection. Bless us all as we are about to deal a new lesson, new knowledge to inculcate, new experiences to embrace, new ideas to share, new values to feed our morale, new output of our painstaking labor to fulfill our satisfaction, new opinions to open up with others, new camaraderie to develop and a lot more that we are humbly asking from your most benevolent heart that grant simple requests into a sure reality. Lord, Bless all schools especially Nagbunga Elementary School that it may dynamically and competitively become a center for sound learning, new discovery, and the pursuit of wisdom; and grant that those who teach and those learn may find you to be the source of all truth and wisdom. Lord, we ask forgiveness for all the sins that we have committed and we are sincerely accepting your Holy Spirit to rule our hearts and minds so that we can avoid the temptations and some forms of evil as we continue fulfilling our roles in this beautiful world as children of God. Thank you God for letting me see the beauty of teaching, please help me not to be good teacher but to be a better teacher for my future students.We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever Amen.

MY CREED

I believe that although teaching may not hold out the promise of increasing monetary gain to the same extent as other professions, its greatest rewards is in the appreciation and affection of my pupils and the good I do to them. And for me this is more satisfying and fulfilling because money and salary comes only ones but the joy and happiness that I feel whenever I able to share my knowledge and ideas to them comes almost every day. So for those who will also going to enter this profession and having willingly chosen to be a teacher, I must say that you should also be willing to respond sincerely with effort, dedication and patience that the teaching demands and deserves.

MY EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

I believe that a teacher is morally obligated to enter the classroom with only the highest of expectations for each and every one of her students. Thus, the teacher maximizes the positive benefits that naturally come along with any self- fulfilling prophecy; with dedication, perseverance, and hard work, her students will rise to the occasion. I aim to bring an open mind, a positive attitude, and high expectations to the classroom each day. I believe that I owe it to my students, as well as the community, to bring consistency, diligence, and warmth to my job in the hope that I can ultimately inspire and encourage such traits in the children as well.

Chapter IINTRODUCTIONNature of the Student Teaching ProgramThe apex of all the Experimental Learning Courses is the Practice Teaching. It is the total immersion of the prospective teacher in the real life of becoming a teacher. During the practice teaching, the pre-service teacher experiences the rudiments of teaching in a cyclical process of planning, actual teaching and evaluating learning. The pre-service teacher, who may be called apprentice or a student-teacher intern, walks the whole process of teaching with a mentor, who is called the cooperating teacher. Here, the pre-service teacher puts into actual practice all that were learned in the content theory courses, strategies or methods of teaching as well as put into test the pedagogical content knowledge acquired in related courses prior to Practice Teaching.As the last field study course, the practice teacher should be given all the opportunities to bring out the best of every prospective teacher. This is necessary in the mastery of the competencies needed as clearly spelled out in the National Competency-Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS) and CMO No. 30, s 2004 and its regional adaptation (Table 1).To achieve this goal, Practice Teaching should be a collaborative effort of the Teacher Training Institutions where the content and strategy courses are first learned and the Cooperating Schools of the Department of Education where much of the Practice Teaching experiences take place.Where learning environment has extended beyond the classroom alone, the demands of the diversity of learners are great, the complexity of learning becomes very challenging and the role of the teachers has extended to a global community, the Practice Teaching component of the new Teacher Education Curriculum has achieve a new dimension.Table 1. Matching the NCBTS Domain and the Competency Standards NCBTS Domains Competency Standards (CMO No. 30, s 2004)

1. Social Regard for LearningGraduates of the BEED and BSED programs are teachers who Have a deep and principled understanding of the learning processes and the role of the teacher in facilitating these processes in their students.

The Teacher Education and Development Program: Pre-service TeacherPerformance and Development FrameworkThe making of a teacher is a development process. This NCBTS will assist the pre-service teachers as they undergo the practice teaching. Some of the items do not apply considering the situation they are in. However, as this is a developmental service, the pre-service teacher should know the areas where further growth could be applied. This recommended as a pre and post diagnosis for formative and summative assessment.The teaching profession has been struggling to keep pace with the changes in society and the accompanying challenges of the technological world. With the notion that the teacher education which consist of the Pre-Service Education of Teachers and In-Service Education of Teachers, and knowledge and skill levels of both new and existing teachers, the Teacher Education and Development Program (TEDP) was conceived. It has been initiated to advocate a greater formal partnership between Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Tertiary Education Institutions (TEIs), Philippine Regulatory Commission (CSC) for the improvement of both pre-service and in-service.The DepEd is committed to providing a quality system of education in the public and private sectors. It provides schools with teachers who are able to help students develop their abilities, attitudes and skills for them to function effectively in an environment that is changing rapidly in many different ways.The DepEd has commenced the implementation of TEDP that is seeking to conceptualize a teachers career path as a continuous that starts with entry to a teacher education program and concludes when a teacher reaches retirement from formal service. The TDEP will address each stage of this continuum as an integrated part that is link closely to preceding and ensuring elements in the program is the establishment of a set of National Competency-Based Standards (NCBTS) so that teachers, students and parents are able to appreciate the complex set of behaviors, attitudes and skills that teach teacher must possess, in order to carry out a satisfactory performance of their roles and responsibilities.The set of competencies is incorporated in a Teacher Performance and Development Framework (TPDF) that is based upon the core values of Filipino teachers and on the principles of effective teaching and learning. The framework is divided into seven domains that represent the desired teaching performance statements which can be identified as performance indicators of the quality of a teachers performance.The seven domains are (1) Social Regard for Learning, (2) The Learning Environment, (3) The Diversity of Learners, (4) Curriculum, (5) Planning, Assessing and Reporting, 6) Community Linkages, and (7) Personal Growth and Professional Development.Each of these domains will be expanded below as part of a set CBTS that will lead to a national TPDF. This framework will allow teachers to self- assess their own performance against the Competency Standards in order to identify areas of strength as well as areas that need to be developed further in order for them to function more effectively as facilitators of learners. Quality pre-service teacher training is a key factor in a quality basic education in the Philippines. As such it is of utmost importance that the highest standards are achieved by pre-service teachers. These standards are reflected in the seven domains that represent the desired features of the teaching learning process as stipulated in CMO No. 30, s. 2004.University Vision and MissionRMTU Vision. RMTU shall be a learning and a resource center for the development of leaders and entrepreneurs responsive to appropriate and emerging advanced technologies for sustainable utilization of natural, indigenous and human resources for community-centered development within a dynamic and ever widening society.RMTU Mission.

Develop teachers who are imbued with clear understanding and an appreciation of human ideals and values to inspire learners to reach greater heights of human aspiration.Objectives of the Teacher Education ProgramGenerally, the goal of the Student Teaching Program is to Make Every New Teacher Observe and Learn Right (MENTOR).In the Student Teaching Program, the student teachers:1. Demonstrate deep and principled understanding of the learning process and the role of the teacher facilitating these process in their students;2. Manifest a meaningful and comprehensive knowledge of the subject matter they will teach;3. Apply a wide range of teaching progress skills (including curriculum development, lesson planning, use of appropriate technology, material development, educational assessment and teaching approaches);4.

Continue to learn in order to teach, to learn, to better fulfill their mission as teachers.Phases of the Student Teaching ProgramThe phase of the student teaching program includes the Orientation Phase, Actual Teaching Phase and the Evaluation Phase. Orientation Phase. The orientation phase of the student teaching program will give the student teacher a general picture of the student teaching program in preparation for his work in off-campus schools. This is the stage of planning and selecting the school of assignment and briefing on the duties and responsibilities in the laboratory school, the school plans, staff, policies, curriculum and other services rendered in the school. This phase helps the student teachers to conceptualize an overview of how the school system functions and have already concretized their personal outlook of the profession. They become consciously aware of their specific roles and function.Observation Phase. This is the phase in which the student teachers go into actual observation of what goes in the classroom; get to know the background, abilities, interest and motivation of each student in the class. They also get to know the classroom set-up, how to use the instructional materials and observe the actual teaching techniques of the cooperating teacher. It helps them to identify their strength and weaknesses and how to correct them.To make observation fruitful, the student teacher should take careful note of the teachers personality, student teachers relationship, techniques and procedures, use of teaching aids, classroom management and behavior of children. Observation of other teachers handling classes may be requested.Actual Teaching Phase. This is the period of applying the principle of learning and teaching studied in the Teacher Education Institution where the student teacher had his initial training. This is the case of the whole program in which they get involved. They take up the classroom activities. The cooperating teacher closely observes and monitors those activities and guides learners accordingly.As the cooperating teacher performs his role at his stage, he expects the student teacher to have developed and therefore manifest some skills relative to teaching. These skills include Professional Skills and Personal Social Qualities which are essential to student teacher to possess.A. Professional Skills1. Mastery of the subjecta.

The evaluation of the student teachers helps them to analyze their teaching strength and weaknesses and their needs so that they may be do better until they develop their potentialities to the maximum degree.

Chapter IIJOURNAL OF EXPERIENCESA. Brief Description of the site of Practice TeachingHistorical Background of the Cooperating SchoolNagbunga Elementary School is located in Nagbunga, San Marcelino, Zambales. It is situated along and almost exactly in between the national highway of municipality of Castillejos and San Marcelino. According to some of the oldest people in this place, the school was first opened and operated in the early 50s. It caters the school children from Nagbunga, Castillejos and Nagbunga, San Marcelino because this school is situated at the boundary of San Marcelino going to the south which is the town of castillejos, Zambales. It is a complete Elementary School. And according to record, the school was first managed by Mr. Jose Y. Abaya in 1973-1980, Mrs. Sylvia O. Pantaleon (deceased) in 1981, Mrs. Fe E. Ruelos in 1982-1992, Mrs. Paciencia R. Angel (deceased) in 1992-1998, Mr. Conrado A. Rosete in 1998-1999, Mrs. Leticia N. Labrador (deceased) in 1999, Dr. Gragorio L. Yap in 2000-2001, Mrs. Natividad I. Dela Cruz in 2001-2006, Mrs. Nieves I. Peralta in 2006-2009 and Mrs. Evangelina C. Yap in September 2009 present respectively.Presently, the school has a total number of two hundred eighty two (282) pupils from kinder to grade VI with Ten (10) teachers

LocationNagbunga Elementary School is situated along and near the national highway and it is accessible by most kinds of transportation so you can easily drop by there. The school compound is approximately one hectare in size. Surrounded by different residencies with houses that most of them are up down in style. The school has a shortcut lane that ends toward the main road of WLAC going to RMTU San Marcelino Campus. And this is the reason why I choose to train in that school, because it is near to our alma mater school. The main passage lane of NES towards inside is narrow but short so it can be hard for other vehicle passengers to notice the school though it has school sign board outside. Its passage lane is near the San Marcelino Arc with a distance of maybe 20 counts of walk. Map of Nagbunga, San Marcelino

Somewhere here is the location of NES

Vision-Mission of the Cooperating SchoolVisionNagbunga Elementary School is a dynamic school of learning. It is a performing school that takes pride of having the following: A cords of teachers who are committed, effective, efficient and ready to meet educational reforms and innovations for the benefit of the whole school system; Pupils with rate of performance level, productive, responsible and morally-upright individuals. Conducive, complete and modern learning facilities and school environment and A strong-community linkage.MissionNagbunga Elementary School aims to strengthen formal basic education through expanding access to ensure that school age pupils acquire and retain skills for literacy. This prepares him to become effective, productive, useful and morally upright citizens, ready to meet the challenges of the fast changing community.

* Reflection Paper about Nagbunga Elementary School:The school is not new to me when I entered there as an intern teacher. Ive been gone there since I was second and third year college as normal student to observe in classrooms as what was required in our field study before. However, it doesnt give me an advantage or any favors in my case. The school treated the four of us equally and fairly. Whenever there are feast in the Principals office during recess time mostly in the afternoon, we were always invited by the teachers and the Principal to eat with them and of course who are we to neglect their invitation. Nagbunga Elementary School is a complete Elementary School, it has all the grade levels required for elementary school. It has an approximately 500 plus pupils and they are all polite especially whenever they meet the teachers on their way. They greet them and even us, Good Morning/afternoon sir/maam, they say. So I can conclude that we are really grateful to be assigned in that school.The opportunity, love and care that given by the NES to me will be cherish and treasured for the rest of my life. My period of training may end but the memories that I brought and received will stay eternally in my heart and mind. It may sleep but will surely be awaken when the time has come that I a Practice Teacher become a Cooperating Teacher. And whenever this happen I will share what my cooperating school and teacher taught to me and that is to work for the common cause; educate, mold and brought change to pupils who will also inherit the aspirations and ambitions that I realized during the training. And this can be done and happened in an institution called Elementary School.

Goals of Basic EducationGoals are necessary for arriving at a previously chosen point. The absence of a goal usually means failure to arrive. In education, we must know what is our aim in order to arrive and step forward with reasonable and positively logical direction or destination.The following are some worthy goals fo the Christian educator:1. To indoctrine the student in truth. This should be the ultimate goal for the entire of our children. It is general goal but must be remembered in the maze of work associated with teaching. If we miss the goal, it means we have failed.2. To develop more responsibility. Moral responsibility is the ability to discern right from wrong with the compulsion or conviction to choose the right.3. To develop in the student the sense of right in relation to the surroundings world. This involves helping him to be aware of the world and its way that affect him, without developing a carving for becoming a part of its system. Our aim should be to prepare him to live as a stranger and pilgrim. This means avoiding suggestions about a students failure that would place him in occupation we would not consider worthy or safe for Christian people.4. To develop skills necessary for life and service. Computation and communication skills for a life of service. Our school should not be lacking academically. We need teachers with an avid interest in teaching and in learning so that we do not fail by default to communicate academically.5. To help the student attain a satisfactory social adjustment. School life can be valuable in helping students to learn to live with others of varied backgrounds, training and ability. For example, a student will need to learn to live and relate to a student without a feeling of superiority or pride. School life is also time to guide the development of interest between sexes. Social maladjustment generally begins early in childs life.6. To help student develop a responsible attitudes towards life. We must develop in our children a strong sense of obligation to contribute. The attitude that world owes us something is parasitic and self-destructive. We must develop a love for the satisfaction and joy of sacrifice.7. To help the student understand the relationship of law and freedom. Freedom is based upon and preserved by law. In the absence of law, there is bondage. Communicating this principle will help to develop a responsible attitude towards civil laws. We are witnessing the development of society that does not appreciate or understand this truth, consequently, it places jeopardy the freedom we hold clear.8. To develop a sense of dignity of honest labor. Disdain for common work is poison that destroys productivity and moral fiber.9. To help student develop his God-given abilities in a humble way. God has given varies gifts to different individuals. There should be develop without fostering pride or intimidating others. We must encourage bit not flatter, challenge but not draw attention to some at the expense of the less able. Each should be help to accept himself as God made him to use his gifts for Gods glory.10. To develop the student the ability to continue the process of education after school. Education is a lifelong process. We should not conclude when a child is through school. He is finished with books. School life should stimulate an avid interest in learning for the sake of personal development.11. To develop physical and mental disciplines. A person undisciplined physically is usually undisciplined mentally. We should help students discipline themselves to view difficult assignments as a challenge completion.12. To teach the process of orderly thinking. School process provide excellent training in understanding how to relate facts one to another. Doing it in natural things will assist in spiritual understanding. Math and its related subjects are valuable for this.13. To contribute toward biblical life pattern. The framework of truth develops lifestyle unique from the culture in which it exists. The school is one part of the total teaching programs that helps to develop this for succeeding generations.Objectives of Elementary EducationArticle III, Sec. 21of the education act of 1982 states that the objectives of the Elementary Education are;1. To provide the knowledge and develop the skills, attitudes, and values essential to personal development and necessary for living in and contributing to a developing and changing social milieu;2. To provide learning experiences which increase the childs awareness of and responsiveness to the changes in and just demands of society and to prepare him for constructive and effective involvement;3. To promote and intensify the childs knowledge of, identification with, and love for the nation and the people to which he belongs; and4. To promote work experiences which develop the childs orientation to the world of work and creativity and prepare him to engage in honest and gainful work.B. Student/Practice TeachingScope of the ActivityStudent/Practice teaching is a college-supervised instructional experience; usually the culminating course in a university/college undergraduate education orgraduateschool program leading to teacher education and certification. It is required by those earning either a Bachelor of Education orMaster of Education degree.Student teaching is required for students who are not yet certified to teach. It is different froma practicum, which is required when a student alreadyholds certification to teach, yet wants a certificate extension to teach another area of specialization; they are both college-supervised field-based experiences. The student teaching experience lasts about the length of a semester; long enough to fulfill the colleges assigned tasks. It is an unpaid internship. This experience gives the prospective teaching professional an opportunity to teach under the supervision of a permanently certified master/teacher. The student teacher is usually placed in a neighboring or participating schooldistrict. The student teacher is monitored by the cooperating teacher from the district, as well as a supervisor through the college. The supervisor acts as a liaison between the cooperating teacher and the head of the colleges student teaching department. The student teacher essentiallyshadowsthe cooperatingteacher forabout one week, eventually gaining more responsibility in teaching the class as the days and weeks progress. Eventually, the student teacher will assume most of the teaching responsibilities for the class including class management, lesson planning, assessment and grading. Thus, the student teacher is able to more fully experience the role of the teacher as the classroom teacher takes on the observation role in the class. Within the four months of practice teaching, student teachers are also given a timetable of the activities. The calendar of activities is shown below.Table 2. Calendar of Activities

Daily RoutineHaving simple yet efficient routinary activities can contribute in the success of the learning and teaching process. Routines help with time management in the classroom. They also help children to know what is expected of them and how to perform independent tasks.Predictable schedules, rules and transitions are all a part of creating a nurturing classroom. Develop a sense of ownership with students by providing them the opportunity to contribute to these areas at the beginning of the year. One of the most important things about establishingclassroom managementis that students must be taught the routines. When teachers create a nurturing environment, they are showing students that they are valued. An organized classroom that students understand how to use reduces stress in children and the teacher.Classroom Management In the book The First Days of School, Harry Wong states that Classroom management is the practices and procedures that allow teachers to teach and students to learn. He also added that one of the greatest gifts a caring teacher can contribute to children is to help them learn to sit when they feel like running, to raise their hand when they feel like talking, to be polite to their neighbor, to stand in line without pushing, and to do their homework when they feel like playing. By introducing procedures in the classroom, you are also introducing procedures as a way of living a happy and successful life.As what I had experience as a classroom manager, I learned that organizing things inside the classroom is not that easy. It requires the efficient roles of the teacher in setting proper instructional strategies, discipline, procedures and routines thats why I can barely confess now that Im far away from that role. But I believe everything has its right time to meet and learn. Who knows? Preparing Instructional MaterialsOne of the skills that a teacher must have is the ability to make good visual aids or instructional materials. This is when the creativity of a teacher appears or comes out. Theres a time that I prepare my visual aid for my lesson for the next day, I instantly realized how hard it really is to be an elementary teacher especially when you have two or more subjects to teach. I also sometimes have this second thought to give up and just use the chalkboard.The allotted time for me to prepare my lesson plan is just enough but still, sometimes I failed to finish it in its deadline. I sometimes rushed it and make it the minute before the actual teaching but I dont mind about it because I know that when you do your best in doing something it will be pay off and the feeling of satisfaction is also there.Actual TeachingMy actual teaching experience will be my one of the most unforgettable experience I ever had aside from my wakeful moments in preparing lesson plan and IMs. Every time I taught my pupils is I always make sure first that the assigned area for them to clean is already clean and I always ask them to go to their proper sits before we start our lesson.I always follow the routinary activities in the lesson plan before going to the main topic for that day. I always tried to use effective teaching strategy and create some short funny moments to drag their attention whenever they feel boredom. For me, the greatest enemy of a student teacher in actual teaching is his/her self. Next is the unpleasant behaviour of the pupils. I said this because I often experienced that and as long as the student teacher is pretending to engage in the lesson or he/she is not naturally executing his lesson the more is the tendency that his pupils will be bored and easily to distract.Evaluation of Pupil PerformanceIn evaluating my pupils academic performance, I always tried to be creative and fair according to their current knowledge after the lesson. I use different ways to evaluate my pupils like oral recitation, quizzes, activity outputs and group activities. But I always prefer and use quizzes to them because that is the easiest way to know if they had really learned something from the lesson and also to have a record about it. Oral recitation is usually use in English mainly to improve their oral reading and language skills. I usually conduct group activities during and even after experiment with an incorporate activity notebooks for each for their individual work.

* Reflection Paper in Samples of Learners Work and Feedback.A quiz is a type of evaluation approach that contains questions about the lesson finished or discussed. The questions are usually objective type that should meet the statement in cognitive domain of the lesson plans objectives. Same also with the assignment. It should also meet one or two of the objectives of the lesson plan. At the end of every lesson that I taught, I never missed to give them quizzes or any seatwork. In Science, I always give them a 10 point quiz as my evaluation to them hence the number of my lesson plan in Science is equal to the number of quizzes theyve taken. On the other hand their assignment in this subject is its opposite. I rarely give them assignments written in or sheet of paper. Most of them are just oral assignments, meaning when I asked them their assignment, they just answered it orally as part also of their recitation. On the other subject, English, I also give them quizzes every time we finish a lesson. I also give them assignments regularly because I believe it will help them to improve their skills in language particularly in grammar even when they are not in school.Samples of their work are still in my custody. I give it importance as my memory to my past pupils. As I read each of their quizzes and assignments, the memory also reminisced and sometimes, I couldnt help but missed those moments when Im them their giving seat work and home works. The joy and satisfaction that I feel whenever they got perfect score in my quiz or assignment is the most fulfilling reward for all my hardships and dedication in preparing each lesson for them. So I really hope they learned something from me.

* Reflection Paper in Examples of Lesson Plans (detailed, semi-detailed)

A lesson plan is a lesson "project" written down on paper. It is only a "project" because a lot of unpredictable events occur in the classroom. It is also a dreaded part of instruction that most teachers detest. It nevertheless provides a guide for managing the learning environment. As one of the teacher's roles is that of designer and implement or of instruction, the preparation of lesson plan will ensure the organization of the English lesson according to some criteria. Regardless of the format, all teachers need to make wise decisions about the strategies and methods they will employ to help students move systematically toward learner goals. The more organized a teacher is, the more effective the teaching, and thus the learning is. Writing daily lesson plans is a large part of being organized. In my experience in preparing lesson plan is I always had a hard time in formulating the right objectives for the lesson because I always follow the three domains; cognitive, affective and psychomotor. The cognitive and psychomotor domains are easier to formulate than the affective, for me. Thats why Im thankful to my CT because he helps me by reviewing my lesson plan before I deliver the lesson to my pupils. He makes revision and additions and I respectfully accept that because Im an open minded person.Nowadays, preparing lesson plan is sometimes jeopardize by some of student teachers and even licensed teachers because of some innovations and reforms that is being implemented in Philippine education system. But I believe, that the Lesson Plan is still the best guide and the best friend that you can see whenever there is a problem arise during the delivery of the lesson.*Best lesson plan using creative strategy with the complete set of materials

The TeacherShe must wake up early in the morningTo do her chores especially the cookingShe must rush to school to be in dutyOr else she might be tardy

She must do her lesson planAnd must cope up with the DeadlinesShe must do all the worksEven if it is late and dark

The students are noisy, what a mess?They don't listen , what a nuisanceThey get zero during speed test or quizzesAnd if they fail they protest
